Trio return for Hornets

Watford welcome back three players for their Barclays Premiership trip to Tottenham.

Midfielders Lee Williamson and Gareth Williams and forward Will Hoskins are available again after missing last weekend’s 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final win at Plymouth because they were cup-tied.

The Hornets are unlikely to make many changes to their starting XI after overcoming Argyle, although Adrian Boothroyd’s men remain 10 points adrift of safety with only nine matches remaining.

Defender Jordan Stewart (calf) remains sidelined along with forward Marlon King (knee).

Provisional squad: Foster, Lee, Mariappa, DeMerit, Shittu, Powell, Mackay, Chambers, Doyley, Smith, Mahon, Francis, Bouazza, Williams, Williamson, McNamee, Bangura, Cavalli, Kabba, Priskin, Henderson, Hoskins.
